Testimonials:
"Having been a student at PBT in 1947, I have glowing memories of learning theater by DOING, rather than by watching or reading. The experience has served me well in the 24 years since PBT, what with continuing work in theater, television, film, radio & teaching."
-Pat Carroll
"Priscilla Beach Theatre gave me a chance to show what I could do. The five weeks in Plymouth was wonderful training for me and gave me the background I needed to get a foothold. It was the greatest experience in my life. That's what kids trying to break into theater ought to do." -Dan Blocker
"The summer at Plymouth was the happiest and most profitable of my life. The learning process was a pleasure...the competency and the enthusiasm of the members of the staff. I wouldn't trade the session for anything, not only because of the experience and training, but because it was real FUN, too" - Jean Seberg
